The name of this book is Sticks and Stones, by Peter Kuper. This book is a graphic novel which means no words. A lot of the details of this book are a bit hard to know such as the setting and tone. The main character doesn’t have a name but for this review let’s call him Rocky. Other characters include the little rock people. The basic bit of the story is that Rocky is made by this volcano and finds that he is alone. Rocky seems to have this thing that he wants to build and that leads to him mee...more
Sticks and Stones by Peter Kuper manages to weave an epic tale about life and death, government and power, and all of the follies of mankind without ever writing a single word.

This group of individuals are capable of many things that he cannot do so he uses his size to take control of them, forcing the group to constr...more

Then little people help him build an empire, which he destroys, and takes command after it was rebuilt. Of course, there is a protester, the little (in this case) black guy. We'll call him Bob.

I've totally come over to the world of Peter Kuper. Wasn't so sure about him at first, but I'm so into him now. This is a fantastical fable of creatures of stone and creatures of sticks. Comments on war, occupation, slavery, attitudes, and much much more. Quick little wordless read. Great touch of making all the sticks elements in color, while the stones are b/w.
Wordless story about a stone man being born from a volcano, his pals, his rise to power and he being a right bastard. Brilliant.
The most I've seen captured in a picture book with no words. Very good.
Great graphic novel. The only words used in the entire story are those in the title. This cautionary tale about the abuse of power is very endearing and charming. Perfect for a Sunday read!
No words. EAF (epic as fuck). Cute AND brutal. Funny. Sad. Dig it!
A wordless story that says a lot.
